Are Bad Boys Good?

Just wondering why girls want bad guys. We all do it. In highschool, I seemed to be attracted to bad boys, they're mean, they're mischeivious, and they're heartbreakers. If we know that they are all of these things, then why are we still attracted to them? What in heavensake makes us want to put ourselves in this situation?

I thinks it's because of the general image they want to show us. They're tough, they push people around. You know, the stereotypical bad boy you see in movies. Not all bad boys are bad though, most of the bad boys I've encountered are either really decent guys or total cowards with big insecurities. Being a dominatrix helps them cover up for their insecurities. I think women like them because they can offer a sense of danger and adventure. Also most bad boys are instantly recognized as being the alpha male of the group and it's natural instinct in the animal world that the female will most likely choose the alpha male. But sadly, it's all just image and hype. I've never seen a bad boy pick a fight alone and unarmed. He always manages to have his entire gang behind him and order them around to his whim or he brings something lethal to compliment his bad boy image.

I couldn't agree with you more! I believe that you hit the nail! lol. It is the whole alpha male ego, and alot of them contradict themselves and its hilarious! Thanks for your response

Angeleyez, I wish that I understood it. I have a very close friend who always seems to go for the bad boys. I never did. I've always been almost too much of a goodie two shoes type myself, and I really go for the clean cut image. I actually like semi-nerdy guys. I'm quite attracted to that image. Bad boys totally turn me off. But I feel that I may be in the minority. Lots of girls love bad boys. I just never felt that way myself.
